There is something that I don't quite like about these sentences. It's not that they are wrong…but I would frame it differently.
a. My mother has just gone to shop (/do some shopping) at that new store. (Correct and likely how I'd say it)
b. My mother has just gone to shop (/do some shopping) in that new store. [Correct, but I'd prefer (a)]
c. My mother has just gone
a. My mother has just gone to shop (/do some shopping) at that new store. (Correct and likely how I'd say it)
b. My mother has just gone to shop (/do some shopping) in that new store. [Correct, but I'd prefer (a)]
c. My mother has just gone
